Redlands, CA Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers

As the name suggests, residential programs require that you become a “resident” of the facility where you receive treatment. You eat, sleep and spend your free time at the facility for the duration of your program, which might last anywhere from 30 days to six months or more. After your initial assessment, your assigned recovery team develops a structured plan for rehab. You follow the schedule and spend time engaging with your counselors, listening to speakers and attending individual and group therapy. There may be art classes, exercise sessions or music therapy. For many patients, residential treatment is a welcome respite from their everyday stress, even though rehab can feel challenging at times.

Imagine spending your days immersed in your busy rehab schedule in the partial hospitalization program (PHP). You arrive on time and attend all of your required meetings and sessions. You listen and learn, and you make sincere attempts to put your new lessons into practice. Each day of rehab is long and sometimes very, very difficult, but you press on. Now, imagine you get to return home each night to the comfort of your own bed. You get a good night’s sleep to start fresh with your rehab plan the next day.

Outpatient treatment programs are very popular. These recovery plans are like a scaled down version of the partial hospitalization program. You have mandatory meetings and appointments, but you can often schedule them around all your other daily commitments. This allows many patients to continue participating in school or show up at their desks at work every day. Outpatient treatment can also be a positive follow-up to a residential or partial hospitalization program. The accountability and structure can reinforce a commitment to a healthy lifestyle, too.

When you become a member of AA, you join a group that includes millions of people. You have access to resources and activities that can help you grow and enjoy life again. You find kindness and acceptance as well as a group of people who want to see you find peace and fulfillment without alcohol. These meetings have participants follow a 12-step program in which they relinquish their addiction to a higher power and work through the steps to reinforce sobriety. You can meet weekly or even daily to discuss issues with other members.

NA works in the same way as AA does, except the focus is on all substances that people misuse, including drugs. Members can join as long as they’ve had substance use disorders in the past and they want to stop using all substances now and in the future. Like AA, members may work a 12-step program of making amends, examining the self and turning their problems over to a higher power.

SMART Recovery is an outgrowth of the “Rational Recovery” movement started in the 1970s. People in recovery who prefer battling their problems through science rather than faith are the types of people who often become SMART members. The groups feature speakers, outings and working through a four-point plan of self-improvement. The SMART Recovery organization approves of the use of prescription medications to aid in substance misuse recovery.

Are you a friend or family member of a person with a substance use disorder? If you feel isolated or shut off from others, you may need a safe space to let out your frustrations and concerns about your loved ones. You may need the validation of hearing someone say aloud that you’re not to blame for anyone else’s unhealthy choices. If you need support and friendship to keep it together, Al-Anon and Nar-Anon are ready to welcome you to their groups.
